The Complete TOM FORD Beauty Collection: What You Need to Know

“Sensuous for me is one of the most important words I would use to describe my cosmetics collection. Beauty that is sensuous is touchable and powerful.” – Tom Ford

I think it’s safe to say that if you are visiting this particular blog you are a fan of Tom Ford.

As such, you are probably pretty excited about the upcoming release of the Complete TOM FORD Beauty Collection. Am I right?

I have to admit the anticipation is slowly driving me mad…

I gave you a sneak peek of the promotional images earlier this month and by now you have probably seen quite a bit of additional coverage around the web. The lucky folks living in Ireland and the UK have access to the collection before we do, so images of the actual products (with swatches and all) are appearing all over.

I wanted to take a minute to cover some basics you should know before you check out the collection in stores.

So, what is actually IN the Collection?

“The ultimate goal of these products is to enable any woman, no matter her age or features, to create a complete look in which her individual beauty is amplified and she appears to radiate from within.” – Tom Ford

The promo shots were a great way to wet our appetites, but you are probably wondering what the actual content of the collection is… how many eyeshadows, lipsticks and brushes will you be able to choose from? Let’s break it down.

Is your favorite missing? If you are a fan of any of the colors that are being discontinued (or of the white packaging!), get them now before its too late! For a limited time you can still order online at Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus, or reserve via phone at Bergdorfs.

OH MY GOD!! I’ve never seen a more accurate report!!! I surely want to try the Jasmine Rouge fragrance because I like jasmine very much (I bet it’s going to be expensive though). As for the rest of the line only time (and my financial condition 😛 ) will tell! Unfortunately I’m not a lipstick fan at all…too bad…he has some nice shades!

The new Black Orchid is actually intensely different from the original. The original was a non-shimmer, black-brown. The new one is almost exactly like the now non-existent, but beautiful, Bruised Plum–a shimmery dark plum. It’s really a shame considering the original Black Orchid was the most beautiful dark lipstick ever; I much prefer it to the new one. On the other hand, it somewhat makes up for the pain of Bruised Plum being discontinued.
